Well I talked to the owner today and he has so much into this car. From engine to suspension to drivetrain to interior (rear seat delete, gauges) to sound system. Only thing that has me a little worried is that he didn't have much for a fuel system. Just a MAFia, KB BAP, meth inj kit post intercooler. To me that slacking on a 600hp+ car. I'm more of the type that likes to have some cushion when it comes to the fuel system. Now I just need to talk to the bank and see what we can work out. Just sucks that we're working 12hr shifts/6 days a week and can't get a chance to see the car for another 2wks. Don't think the wife would like me checking out a car on my only day off.

I would say that the fuel system is good...It was tuned by a reputable tuner and if it needed more fuel, they would have upgraded the pumps or injectors. They aren't going to go out and make the injectors flow 95% duty cycle.


stop making excuses and go buy it ;)

You know the guy has spent ALOT of $$$ on great parts and didnt skimp anything so what makes you think he would skimp on the fuel (the most important part!!!) Go buy it before i do

Not trying to make excuses. it just seems minimal fuel for the power it's putting down. This is why he's putting down.
-- Race 20psi = 632rwhp / 592rwtq; Street 18psi = 626rwhp / 564rwtq

I was just giving you a hard time...I would still buy it nonetheless! A guy on here just paid 22k for his and was modded way less than this one...If you want more, just spend about 400 on bigger injectors and your set

ive tuned hundreds of cobras making north of 600rwhp with just a BAP... now, add to it that he has meth injection (dual nozzle setup) and his FPDC was only 90%ish IIRC..

Boy am I having such a hard time deciding if I should get this car. Scenario 1 is good due to being debt free. Scenario 2 is also good due to the car already being fixed up and wouldn't have to put much more money into it. What would you do if you were in my shoes.

Scenario #1- Don't buy car, be debt free in about 18 months, save for a year, buy next car cash and still be debt free.

Scenario#2- Buy car, have bills paid off but still have this car payment left over in 18 months and hope to have it/ close to having it paid off within the same yr as scenario 1.

It's one badass car dude and Im sure you would love driving it. That being said, living debt free is a very very good thing. Once you get into that position and keep it that way, it just becomes easier.

Course, that's not counting a mortgage. lol Working on knocking that one down now...

#2 all the way. That car will only increase in value as the years go by. Make her into a show car and enjoy the hell out of it.

Hehe, kind of off topic but the most badass new edge i have ever seen was at RAF mildenhall, england. It was a red mach and i *THINK* it had an F1A with supporting mods. Never got a chance to talk to the owner, but dayum.
